Basement /FoundationWaterproofing

The conventional model involves a large tank buried in the ground near the home or building that it will service. Using gravity, the wastewater that comes from the home drains into the tank.

The water line in and out continues to drain liquid out from the tank to the ground which is known as the drain field.

The major difference between elevated sand mounds and conventional in-ground-absorption systems is the addition of sand to the top of the absorption area in order to increase the depth to limiting zone to the required 48 inches. This usually raises the elevation of the distribution system above the outlet elevation of the septic tank. Thus a pump is required to lift the wastewater from the septic tank up to the sand mound. In a few cases the topography may allow the pump to be replaced with a si

GSF modules consist of a geotextile fabric and a plastic core material that work together to provide vertical surface area and oxygen transfer. Treated effluent is applied to the soil, increasing its long-term acceptance rate. A specified sand layer provides additional filtration and prevents saturated conditions.

Often, any failures in a septic system cannot often be blamed on a “typical” cause. For example, one of the drain lines might be clogged or broken. The tank itself may have problems, or the leach field may be suffering from clogs, soil compaction, or issues with the soil used in the septic drain field itself.

For a residential installation, the sewer pipe typically starts where the home's main drain exits the house foundation. The line then slopes downhill to where it connects to the city branch or main, at a connection called a tap. 

Waterproofing the outside of your foundation is the best way to shore up your basement. Interior waterproofing can prevent water damage from getting worse, but having the repairs done on the outside fixes the weaknesses where the start.

A good surface drainage system is the only way to cope with heavy volumes of surface water accumulation after bouts of intense rainfall. Not doing so will quickly saturate and overwhelm the capacity of the soil to absorb water, which could lead to extensive flooding and changes in landscape structure.

The pipes used for underground drainage need to be able to repel roots which could attempt to grow through them. Some people use a french drain system, with perforated pipes surrounded by gravel. This system allows water to quickly percolate through the gravel and into the pipes, allowing drainage to occur everywhere the pipes run, rather than collecting water at central points. This wicks subsurface water away quickly and efficiently.

Underground downspouts are the perfect waterproofing solutions for homeowners who deal with light to medium flooding on a yearly basis. These downspouts won’t stick out in your lawn and will work to keep your home dry while preserving the look of your landscaping.

As the name suggests, underground downspouts are downspouts that are Installed underneath your lawn. These downspouts work just like your average downspouts do, directing water away from the perimeter of your home and into the street.

Over time, stagnant water accumulated can make soil muddy, which in turn can cause soil to erode. Drainage systems maintain balanced moisture in your garden to reduce soil erosion.
